Islamism

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islamists tend to adopt variants of the shahada flag, bearing the Muslim testimony of faith.

Islamism is a group of ideologies that say that the Muslim world should be run by sharia (Islamic laws). Generally, it is the idea that Islam should guide both society and politics, as well as people's personal lives.[1] Important people who have inspired Islamist movements include Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Malcolm X, Ayatollah Khomeini, Sayyid Qutb, Muhammad Iqbal.
